What may be causing me to get repeated boils all over my body?

Q: I constantly have a waxy like clear fluid like substance that discharges from my skin, ears, neck, chin, etc. Just recently I had a peri-rectal abscess drained and treated with surgery. I am taking Rifampin and Bactrim until I have a surgery follow-up examination. My face, neck and scalp still secretes this waxy substance. All this started with boils that migrated from a boil in both thighs,then my scalp and finally my peri-rectal area. I have no sexual transmitted disease. I also have a lot of fluid in my neck and in both ears that seems to never go away. I use Debrox to try to remove the cerumin (wax) in my ears. To no avail, I have been treated with Minocycline and Doxycycline for a possible ear infection. I have been told that I have follicultis, atopic dermatits and possible allergies of some sort. Sometimes my ear canals are so swollen the Debrox cannot flow into the ear canal. My nasal passages often swell. I do not have a nasal discharge. What could be causing these events?Yes, I have seen a Dermatologist. Other than prescribing a couple steroid creams which did not help, I am anxiously awaiting to maybe have a lesion cultured. After my recent surgery for the peri-rectal abscess, I was told that I was methilin resistant during a blood culture. What does that really mean? Is that why my ear infection continues to flare up? I am dumbfounded!

A: I would suggest you get tested for TOXINS / why???? The environment we live in is causing you alot of problems / they are trying really hard to get out of your body / I feel very angry that they have let this go on / I hate that you have to suffer at there expense. Once you have determined what kind of toxins are poisoning you./ get a total body cleanse to get rid of these toxins. My husband works in a steal factory / he would get these huge boils on his cheeks / so I know what i”m talking about / I also own a herbal store.

bartholin plugged glands and rectal abscess in women?

Q: I am a married woman with five children, youngest 4 years old. Recently I have been to the doctor to discover a rectal abcess. I have a surgery consultation scheduled soon. But most recently I had vaginal pain. Nothing seemed to have caused it—not intercourse, not sitting or standing too long. Just a bit of pain which is mild, and to one side. But after investigating with a mirror and the help of my husband, the two bartholin glands, which I understand are not usually visible, are quite visible, although not painful. The pain was just on the inside of the labia. I am frightened and want to know what kind of condition could make these things happen in me. STD’s are not possible unless they could be 19 years ago. Always a chance of my spouse being unfaithful but this is highly unlikely due to working together long hours and always knowing where each other are. Your help would be appreciated, and please, only serious comments.

A: The vag pain could be due to swelling and pressure from the rectal abcess. Or the infection could have spread, which is probably what is causing the Bartholin glands to be swollen. However, since we are not doctors, and even if we were we cannot give you an exam we really can’t answer that question. You really need to call your gyn tomorrow and discuss it with them.
